silly question, but are you sure the directory is spelled correctly (case)? That is the most probable cause. If so, what is the script?

Thanks, that worked like a charm. In any case anyone is interested, I then renamed the file to a .sh file and made it an executable via the GUI. I then browsed to System -> Preferences -> Startup Applications and added the .sh file to the startup. I think this is a very basic session restore job which will last me until the gedit plugins get properly updated. Thank you everyone!

Check if you have the files present at home directory as the same with which you are logging in.
Also check if you are running the script at startup with the same user with which you have your text files present.

For the basic testing try by giving absolute path like this "/home/user1/TXT/To-Do.txt" and still it opens blank files then we will need to check what the script you have written at the startup.
